Having just completed the final phase of cataract surgery at Pardee Hospital, I wish to commend the entire staff of Outpatient Surgery for a textbook procedure.

On each occasion the greeters were friendly, the nursing and operating personnel were very professional and courteous. Being in the hands of Dr. Daniel Yoder created an air of excellence and confidence, which is always a plus for any operation. As each eye is done two weeks apart, one has the opportunity to go through everything twice. At no time did I feel that there was any departure of the professionalism from one visit to the next.

On my final wheelchair ride out of the complex, I couldn't help but realize that one could not get any better care anywhere else.
